Kristin Cavallari and I have had our ups and downs between Laguna Beach and The Hills, but now we're at a really good place. She's a mom with amazing style and a line of shoes for Chinese Laundry, and every single time I see a shot of her out and about somewhere, I'm impressed with what she's wearing. As such, when I got the chance to talk style with her recently, the college-age version of me freaked out a little bit.

Glamour: When you started working with Chinese Laundry, what shoe styles did you know you needed to have?

Kristin Cavallari: I wanted a couple of great staple shoes that would carry throughout all of the collections. The Copertina is a classic that will never go out of style, and I do it in different colors for each season. Every girl needs a heel that can be worn to work, then out to dinner or drinks the same night. It was also important for me to have a cute flat since becoming a mom has changed my everyday shoe from heels and wedges to more flats.

Glamour: Let's talk about those boys! How has your style changed since becoming a mom?

KC: It's pretty much the same. I don't think that just because you're a mom you have to sacrifice fashion. With that being said, I definitely wear a lot more flats than I used to. It's too difficult carrying babies in heels. It makes me nervous!

Glamour: Little baby shoes are the epitome of sweetness. Do you have any particularly adorable pairs for either of your sons?

KC: Since I'm married to an NFL player, our boys live in Nike! The teeny-tiny ones are absolutely adorable. I have a couple of little boat shoes for the boys that I love as well.

Glamour: Are you an over- or underpacker, shoewise, when you travel?

KC: I usually always overpack by two or three pairs. It depends where I'm going, but I typically bring about six pairs.

Glamour: What's one pair of shoes you'd never, ever wear?

KC: Crocs! I just can't do it, even though everyone says how comfortable they are.

Glamour: What's the most comfortable pair of shoes in your closet right now?

KC: It would have to be my Uggs, but besides that, I'd say my Cadence flats. They're comfortable and stylish. Win-win!
